When the pioneer settlers moved west in the 1840s, they brough with them a strong faith-tradition that influenced the names of towns, cities, and landmarks. This includes the Jordan River, running through the Salt Lake valley. It was named after the river Jordan where many of the stories of the Bible, including the baptism of Jesus took place.
